Dark experimental soundscapes that are actually
interesting to listen to, how about that? I'm creeped out and yet
deeply mesmerized by Cook's ambient pitches, tones, beeps, and
clicks. It's hard not to call this noise at times, but it's far from
too abrasive - in fact it's probably as accessible as this music comes.
In "Steady State Theory" you're taken through an evil underground
factory, moving past foreign, mutant machinery. As you wander further
the sounds echo and reverberate in the background as new ones appear
on the horizon. "Early Academy," a live performance for University of
Michigan radio station Ann Arbor, sounds like a trip through a
telephone wire. Brief "My Side Your Side My Side" closes off the
record with some nice dark tones. Asymptosy is a record's worth
of great, dark, lovely experimental electronic sound... it should more
than garner
a look.
